J. EDGAR HOOVER vs. ROBERT F. KENNEDY 


A c<mtrcv«ray of mojor jwoportioQS bas devel- 
oped whiob tavoleee Ibe trutbruloese and integri^ 
of the advecsariea. Aa U.S. NEWS AND WORLD 
REPORT stated os December 26. 1966. **Now out is 
the open and beading toward a public abowdown is a 
dispute that could prove important to the political 
future of Senator Robert P. Kennedy (Dem.),of New York. 

**The issue: Did Mr. Kennedy, when be was U.S. 
Attorney General, authorize tbs Federal Bureau of 
Investigation to use electronic eavesdropping deinoes 
- which are knows as *buga* - is aiaking criainal 
investigations? 

**J. Edgar Hoover, longtioe Director of the FBI. 
says Mr. Kennedy did. 

**Mr. Kennedy says he didn't. 

“Senator F.dwaid V. Long (Dea.), of Miasouri, 
says he will invite both to testify before his sub> 
cotoDittee which is investigating *invaaiona of pri- 
vacy' by electronic snooping.'* 

The devious progress of Robert P. Kennedy to 
tie point where he can hope to win the presidential 
nenination in 1968 started with the plane of an anbi- 
tlous father. Back in the early 1930's Joseph Kennedy. 
Sr. was s heavy financial contributor and a strong 
supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt in bis first try 
for th« presidency. Already s nulB'iamionaire, 
Kennedy Sr. had an obsessios to establish the 
Kennedy fanily as s poUticsl dynasty, ouch as 
royally was created in the past, by seizing power. 

After Franklin D. Roosevelt ascended to the 
highest office in the U.S. Government in 1983, Joseph 
Kennedy. Sr. was appointed to several government 
positions, finally becoming Ambassador to Great 
Hriuin in 1937. His oldest son, Joseph. Jr., was . 
originally selected for the political careerwhich was 
to end in the Whits House. Joseph Jr. was sent to 
the London School of Economics (Fabias Socialist) 
wi'H^re Harold LaaU made him his protege, taking 
him to Moscow to inlroduco him to the important 
Soviet leaders. I.aaki. a Fsbiss'^ocialist leader, 
worked closely with P^r■Ii* Frankfurter who was respoo* 
siblo for introducini Algety. Hiss into government 
service as well as bihers 9 f cuestionable loyalty to 
the LTnited States. \ (T/ 2 9 O ^ 


whst was going os there. Later at Oakland. Califor- 
nia, bo becamo s close sssocisto of J.. Robert 
Oppenheimer sad a ''group** operating at Oakland. 
Cnfoiiunstely, Joseph Jr. was killed, aallifying all 
tbs werk that went into building him op. so the next 
in tine was called upon. This was Jobs who finally 
'mads tha grade. John, of courso, was al»o seat tw 
the London School of Economics and was also a 
special protege of Harold Lsski. Reportedly John 
was not politically ambitious but was conpiyiag 
with his father's wishes when he embarked on a 
political career after hia atiot ae a newspaper un. 

Robert Keanedy, however, was politically ambi- 
tious but had to stay in the background while hia 
brother was being maneuvered into the presidency. 
Reportedly he was jealous and resentful and insisted 
on being made Attorney General when hia brother 
became President. This JFK did against the advice 
of wiser mea than he and the American public was 
shocked. The position of Attorney General gave 
Bobby access to confidential recoeda and power 
which he used to tho hilt. He sssomed more and 
more power, injecting his influence end decisions 
into other government departments, including the 
State Department, Defease Department and lYeae- 
uiy Department. 

Tha Attorney General's office, under Robert 
Kennedy, became the place where deciatuiu were 
made and foreign diplomats beat a path to Bobby's 
'offico rather than the White House. Bobby, whose 
pollsters must have said. “Go left, young man.'* 
has indeed done just that with a vengeance. Being 
politically wise, he baa built a power structure cen- 
tered around the Kennedy family, bringing several 
members of the family into governmeDt service. We 
can only hope that Teddy and his wife, who ere 
much more sttrsetive end sympathetic, will aot 
cross their smbitioue brother up for tbero are Ikes# 
who can testify that it doesn't pay, even those whm 

are unable to testify at alU . . 

’ */. ' 

When Bobby Kennedy, pipaqueek turned Attor- 
ney General, took office, the FBI was ordered to cut 


the United Slates. .4 **• of tho Comaiuniot Coe- 

^ pi racy. The N.Y. TIMES, when Bobby left the office 

Joseph Jr^,jMdm,»leSAal left-wing rounds that ' ^i^Attomey Ganeral, stated that he had saved t^e 

seem to be oecesiai^f 9 <;.aa^one aspiring to becooie govemamiit money in not wasting time inveattgatiog

subcoamiUee aad waa t h e ta fore forced to leaiga. He 


rated for petjuiy hy his friend Bobby 


hut was actoaUy ^«ea aaotfaeicuahy fonpenuaeni job. 

Bobby, who was takiaf hie advice and. perhaps, 
ordeia, froa iaportaat leftiats, had decided that 
Lyndon Johaaon, thea Vice President, should not 
be allowed another term in ofRce. Since it waa 
deaired that LBJ should be replaced by a more acceptr 
able man, reportedly Arthur Goldberg. Bobby under> 
took to discredit LBJ with the investigation of the 
Billy Sol Estes and Bobby Baker cases. These 
scandalous cases were to be used U> prevent LBJ 
from .receiving the Vice-PresidenGal lenomination. 
The aaaassination of John F. Kennedy, however, 
upset all these plans, LBJ was now the President 
of the United States, in a position to remove Bobby 
which he did with ns much speed as protocol allowed. 

After the nesansiaatioe of JFR. Bobby found 
himself in the poeition of being under the very man 
be had set out to destroy. While Bobby was Attorney 
Genersl it is no secret that there was bad blood 
between John Eldgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, 
and himself. NEWSWEEK magazine of December 26, 
1966. stated: “For years the bad blood ran silent 
and deep between Robert F. Kennedy and J. Edgar 
Hoover with only an issue to turn their cold war 
hou" 

J. Edgar Hoover had refused to allow the FBI 
to become involved in some of the matters that 
Bobby, aa Attorney General, wanted to handle. How> 
ever, Bobby had s special detail of men working 
under his direct supervision and had n nationwide 
private detective agency under confidential con- 
tract. This agency had contracts with other govern- 
ment departmente and was used to put in eavesdrop- 
ping devices where the FBI would not altow themselves 
to become involved. This private agency has offices 
in a number of large cities and was especially active 
in the South. Their wiretapping activities became 
so widespread that Congressmen. Senators, news- 
papermen nod many patriotic government employees 
had reason to believe thel their telephonee were 
tapped. 

Not only did Bobby Kennedy know of the FBI 
wiretspe which were used in national security and 
major crime casee, but he also knew of the wide- 
spread use of these practices by the Internal Reve- 
nue Service, the Departaeot of Health, Education 
and Welfare, the Treasury Departaient, the Post 
Office DepsrtaieBt and other government agenciee 
whose activities have heea brought to light by Sene- 
tor Long’s Committee, le e frantic effort to preserve 
his public image. Bobby has nude the serious mis- 
take of trying to akiil the blame for hie owe actione

aadsr anay pr>V^neats sod Attomeya General eiaca

A- 

That Bobby hen hie eye oe the presidency ia 
well knowB. LBJ outaaneuveied him at the 1964 
Convention aad many think that Bobhy will have to 
wait until 1972 but others advnnoa rensoes that he 
will try for 1968. The pablicnUoa, WASHC4CTO.S 
OBSERVER. tUtee ia its DMcaber 30. I960 issa#: | 
’’Incidentally Bobby claims that ha will not,aaka a | 
run for the Presidency in 1968 but will wait fto 1972. ' 
However, sources close to him say that he ia merely p 
following the usual Kennedy family strategy of alwaye 
aiming at two targets aimultaneouslyand.nt the last 
moment, being prepared to make a ligbteain^lika > 
deeisioB to hit the target which ia most opportuoe. I 
’’One thing needling Bobby to make bis ntab at 
the top job early in hie wife, Ethel. When she foend M 
out about his romance with the late Marilyn Monroe, rp: 
she threatened to divorce him. Bobby has been on 
hia good behavior ever since, realizing that a divorce 
would kill hia political ambitions.** 

By some coincidence the sana date this story 
reached the public, the residence and laboratory of . 
Bernard B. Spindel, a nationally known wiretapping 
expert, were raided by police on charges of illegal 
eavesdropping. The WORLD JOURNAL TRIBUNE p 
reported on December 18, 1966, ’’The entire nine- ^ 
hour police raid on the upstate home of one ot 28 
eavesdropping experts indicted Thursday waa itself | 
recorded on the expert’s own equipment, the World | 

Journal Tribune was told yesterday Bernard B. 'J 

Spindel, n nationally known electronics security 7,|. 
consultant, did the bugging aa aa eight-man team of 
state police and ofiicialn from the office of Franks. 
Hogan. New York diatrict attorney, searched his 
home and laboratory at Kent Township in Putnam : Iv

to find out exactly what we have aad they must have 1 1 : 
gone through 6.000 pieces of paper before they left !p 
about 3:30 p.m.,* said SpindeL” 

On Wednesday, December 21* 1966. the N.Y. 
TIMES reported that Spindel had asked the N.Y. -I " 
State Supreme Court to force the District Attorney to 
retian hundreds of items allegedly seized ia the <| - 
raids. The TIMES stated, ”In aa affidavit submitted ^ 
to the court. Bernard Spindel' asserted that soma of 
the seized material contained ’tapes and evidence 
concerning circumstaocea surrounding and caasea || 
of death of Marilyn Monroe, which strongly saggaata J | 
that the officially reported circumntencea .of her ^ | . 
demise are erroneous.* ** . i iT'

In the book, "The Strance Death of Marilyn

and Peter LsmTord ia ahowa as a character reference 
tor Patricia Newcomb. Marilya*a press secreUry. 
who suddenly went to Europe after Marilyn*s death 
and who was put oa the gOTemment payroll slier her 
return and was taler assigned to an office next to 
Bobby Kennedy's. Miss Newcomb had claimed that 
she was with Marilyn most of the twenty-four hours 
preceding her death and, after Marilyn's fttneral, 
immediately (lew to the Kennedy '^compound'* at 
Hyannispart before departing for Europe where she 
stayed for six months until all ofllcial investigatione 
bad ceased concerning Marilyn's death. 

In associating the hallowed name of Kennedy 
with the Hollywood star, your editor was the sul^ 
jeet of much vilificatioa, even by the staid WALL 
STREET JOURNAL. However, Mr. Spindel has stated 
that his tapes and files (of which he still has extra 
copies) support the allegations is the book, and 
even go much further. Mr. Spindel also stated that 
the tape recording of Robert Kennedy, James Kelly 
and himself, having to do with the Hoffa Case, 
allegedly shows that Robert Kennedy offered him n 
bribe and that the facts have been recorded in an 
unpubticized government hearing. ^ 

' .James Koffe was convicted in Tennessee for 
allegedly having tampered with a jury. There are in 
existence numerous affidavits showing that employ- 
ees of the Department of Justice allegedly tampered 
with the jury that was hearing the Hoffa case. The 
Congressional Record of May 4. 1964, Page 9699 
shown the statement of Congressman Glenn Cunningham 
of Nebraska in which he asked and received per- 
mission to place into the record an article which 
appeared in the Washington EVENING STAR of 
Match 4, 1964, entitled. **Aa Odor of Police State 
Methods.*' by William S. White. In this article Bobby 
Kennedy is held responsible for illegal wiretapping 
and federal snoopery over the mail of private persons. 
Speaking of the Hoffa trial, Congressman Cunning- 
ham stated, "I would like to call to the attention of 
my colleagues the unhappy fact that a number of 
witnesses who sro available to testify on pertinent 
facts regarding the Hoffa trial have been subjected 
to various pressures including threats of physicsl 
violence, economic reprisal aad other forms of in- 
timidatioa.** 

If. as appears to he the esso, the trial or fanM>>s 
Hoffs- was j gross miscarriage of justice and the 
result of a personal vendetta of Bobby Kennedy, the 
truth should be mndo public. The csso reeks of 
wiretapping, tampering with the jury, bribery and 
paid informers. Hoffa has offered a reward of«100,(X)D 
for evideaee to presesi to tbs Supreme Court t^k 


iltegnl bugging sNs done in his ease. If the Lonf 
Committee co«.\r^^ply this evideaee by calliaff 
the nunwrotts wiJbosses available, it would be en- 


titled to this reward which could then bo used to ’ 
help the needy familiea of U.S. sarvicemea killed 
ia Vietnam by the communist VietCoag to whom Bobigr 
Kaanedy ia willing to give bia blood* 


Tbeie ia little doabt that Edgar Hoover .■ 
woold be willing to appear befoca the Loag Com- 
mittee to present fapts under oath to support hie 
allegations that Robert Kennedy, whea Attorney 
General, not only knew about wire Ups and elec- 
tronic bugging, but nctnally increased the aamter 
used and listened in on some of them. A U3. 
Government Memorandum, dated Auguat 17, 1961, 
baa been made public oa the aubject of "Micropboam 
Surveillances.** It reads: "The Attorney General 
was contacted on the morning of August 17, 1961„ 
'with reference to the situntioo in New York Ci^ 
concerning the obtaining of leased lines from the 
telephone company for use in connection with mi- 
crophone survetlUnces. This matter was discussed 
with the Attorney General and he was shown n copy 
of the proposed letter which would be used. The 
Attorney General approved the proposed procedure 
in thin regard and personally signed the attached 
memorandum evidencing such approval.** 


The document with the personal signature of 
Robert Kennedy rends aa follows: "In connectioa 
with the use of microphone surveillances it is fre- 
quently necessary to lease s special telephone line 

in order to monitor such a surveillance In the 

New York City area the telephone company has over 
the years insisted that a letter be furnished to the 
telephone company on each occasion when n special 
telephone line in leased by the FBI* It is required 
that such n lease arrangement be with the approval 
of the Attorney General. In the past we have re- 
stricted the utilization of leased lines in New York 
City to situations involving telephone taps, all of 
which have been approved by the Attorney General.... 
We have not previously us^ leased lines in con- 
nection with microphone surveillances If we 

are permitted to use leased telephone lines ae an 
adjunct to our microphone surveillances (electronic 
bugging), this type of coverage can be materially 
extended both in security and major criminal cases. 
Accordingly, your approval ef our utilizing this 
leased line arrangement in requested...** Thim 
approval was given by Robert Kennedy*s J)nfs6anl' 
signature. • .

contained in a letter from Representative H.R. Groa» 
(Rep.) of Iowa to J. E^gar Hoover. The N.Y. TIMES 
of Dee. 31 1966 reported. "In a letter to J. Edgar

gatioe, Mr. Gross referred to the long pending case

. Harvey informs us that: "enough confirming 
be presented to any interested congressional 
eommiitee to disintegrate the Bobby Kennedy fan 
ciuo."Theie is a new Congress, having taken office 
in January 10. 1967.' All have been sworn to defend 
tac Constitution of the United States; all should be 
grateful that for forty-one years J. Edgar Hoover hse 
done a magrincent job to help hold back the com- 
munist t ski -over of our country. He is entitled, 
ro careless of political pressures, to have the full 
truth brought out and hie name sad record cleared of 
charges ...ade by Bobby Kennedy. The American 
public also is entitled to know some of the sordid 
ceuils of the career and aetivitiee of Bobby, the 
caepet-bagging Senator from New York. 

There is no doubt but thnt the Manchester 
book. "The Death of a President," which has gotten 
millions of dollars worth of free publicity, is meant 
to glorify the Kennedy# and in particular Robert 
Kennedy is said to emerge as s "hero.** Far from 
the book really being out of Kennedy control, Robert 
AC.inedy haa been reported se stating: "It*s our 
auAuscript. and we can release it at our leisure.** 
The big furor over it will only increase its sales 
and. since it reportedly makes President Johnson 
seen like "some kind of a monster,** it ie probably 
planned to use the book to torpedo Johnson and 
push Bobby into the presidency. 

Bobby hns tried to make himself the "leader** 
of the "new left" and has been playing up to all the 
student "dissenters." He also courts the "minority 
groups." A new book concern lag the B’nsi B'rith

» :'.'.ch he statee: **To rend *biw laudable history (of

JOSEPHjJF^ i DOL AN. Administrative Assistant to \ 
Senator KENNEDY, slipped the writer In the Senate Cafe- \ 
teria on 1/16/67, at which time greetings were exchanged. 

DOLAN was pleasant, as have been other members of the 
KENNEDY staff, to the writer personally since the start 
of the wire-tapping controversy, 

DOLAN asked at one point in the conversation, 

"when does the next round start." He was asked to explain 
this comment. He stated he was referring to the wire- 
tapping controversy. The writer told DOLAN this matter was 
something being handled at Bureau Headquarters, and the 
writer could make no comment concerning it. DOLAN was 
told it v/as believed the Director has made himself abundantly 
clear on where the Bureau stands in the above matter. i 

DOLAN at this point stated he was extremely 
.sorry that this thing had ever come to light. He frankly 
thought that his boss, Senator KENNEDY, had been poorly 
advised on it. He stated newspaper articles quoting various 
persons in the KENNEDY administration who were in the 
Department of Justice at the time KENNEDY was Attorney 
General made Senator KENNEDY'S position rather ludicrous; 

He explained that he felt that many of the statements were 
very contradictory and that anyone with an ounce of sense 
would know that Senator KENNEDY had full knowledge of all 
1 technical devices being used by the FBI. 

I DOLAN stated that they were worried and interested In 

knowing what Senator LONG, of Missouri, might be planning

^ncerning the above matter la proposed public hearlnes. 
DOLAN was again told that the writer had no knowledge, nor 
was he In any position to make any comment, concerning this 


It Is rather apparent that the KENNEDY forces 
are worried over this matter, and DOLAN was undoubtedly 

expedition” to see what information he could 
obtain. It was very interesting DOLAN openly admitted to 
the writer KENNEDY»s full knowledge of these devices during 
our conversation. *

Dear Mr. Hoover: 






Thank you for your prompt response to my letter of December 5, ^ ^ 0 

1966, in which I asked for any documentation you might have in§ * : 
’connection with Federal Bureau of Investigation use of wiretap^ ' j 
and microphones on the authority of the Attorney General of th® *Tj 
ttalted States. " sif: 


jlYour letter^^kes it completely clear that former Attorney Gener- 
!al llob^T^ FTK^rmedv was fullv aware of rha surveillance that was 




>ractice< 


wiretapping and 


luring his administration of the Department of Justice. 
Incidentally, I call your attention to the fact that there was 

r and eavoeHnnnnintf AiWnff the TCermedv adm^Tllatratlon ^ 5c 


tavesdropping during the Kennedy administration 


that had no connection with the operation of .the FBI, but apparent* 
ly did have the approval of the highest political appointees of the 
.Kennedy administration. I refer to the wiretapping and eavesdrop* 


in connection with the efforts to oust Mr. 


Otto Otepka froi^M 


{employment in the State Department. 




In this case there was no question of national security or crime, ^ 
.organized or xznorganized. The fact that this was either approved |- 
or condoned in early 1963 by the Kennedy administration would seem |> 

to give further support to your statements ^ 3 r ^

ELECTRONIC EAVESDROPPING 




y 


r/' 



Clark Mollenhoff, Washington Bureau of the "Des 
Register and Tribune, " today telephonically advised Bishop in my 
oL'ice that he has learned from Congressman Gross^ office tliat the 
Congressman is going to send a letter to Mr. Hoover, probably dated 
loday, in reply to the Director's letter to him of 12/7/66 wherein rhe 
Director set forth the true facts, supported with documentation, con- 
cerning the approval of the Attorney General for the use of electronic 
eavesdropping technicues by the FBI. MoUenhoff said he has ascer- 
tained Congressman Gross' letter will advise the Director that after 
careful study of tl:e Director’s letter and its enclosures, Coi^ressman 
Gross is convinced the FBI utilized electronic eavesdropping techniques 
only upon tlis specific approval of tlie Attorney General and tlie Depart- 
i meat of Justice. | . ] 

In his letter Congressman Gross will also malce reference 

• to the case of Ctto F. Ctepka, former chief. Division of Evaluations, 

• Dlfice of Security, State Department, wl.ich received considerable 
publicity ai.er hearings on his dismissal from the State Department 
were held by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, 

iw will be recalled that Cteplca's position in the State Depart- 
ment was to evaluate and malve decisions with regard to individuals 
employed by the State Department who possibly could be security rislcs. 
V/lien the Administration became unhappy about the number of persons / 
being deciared security risks by Ctepka, John F. Reilly, who was then ^ 
an attorney in the Department of Justice under Bobby Kennedy, - was 
' transferred 10 the State Department as Deputy Assistant Secretary for

RE: CONGRESSMAN H. R. GROSS 


' Security, and thus became Ctepka*s boss* The purpose of Reilly^s 
joins to tlie State Department was to chock up on Cteplca, Reilly 
pjccocdcd to put microphones in Ctepka's telephones and to place a 
• ’’buj" in his office. This v/as finally disclosed to the public in hear- 
I ings before tlie Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. In spite of 
I this, after Cpetlca was dismissed by the State Department, Reilly was 
i rewarded for his v/ork by being appointed by the Administration to a 
1 high position in the Federal Communications Commission, Congress- 
: man Gross is going to cite in his letter to the Director the Opetka case 
i as another instance where Bobby Kennedy was aware of the utilization 
i of electrordc eavesdropping tecimiques and certairJy approved their use. 


Clark Mollenhoff also advised tliat Congressman Gross 
will conclude his letter to Mr, Hoover by asking that Mr. Hoover keep 
1 him advised of any additional developments with regard to electronic 
eavesdropping. 


Mollenhoff stated his information is tliat Congressman 
;j Grcs3,on 12/29/SS^will make public tiie letter which he is to send to 
Mr, Hoover today. 


OBSERVATIONS 


It would appear that if the above letter along the indicated 
lines is sent by Congressman Gross to the Director and is made 
public, it will ccrtaiiily give additional support in the minds of the 
public to the fact that the FBI utilized electronic eavesdropping 
techrhques only with the knowledge and specific approval of the 
Attorney General and the Department of Justice.

Thare Is a very dellberuto and

grabbing and anti-Johnson sharpshooting. 

Viic- il~y car-old New Yorker is operating on tha theory that thoro 
is a chance the President v?ill not seek another terni, and is doing 

Lis ut:;osi. to put hitisolf in a position to blitz the 1968 nomination and 
run cn a cl ear cut Kennedy platform. 

♦’icai ttcdly, this is a calculated risk. But Kennedy dooms it a 
"a..;bie roll rorth taking in the belief he has overj'thing to rin and 
X it tic Co los c . 

If the President does decide to run again, Kennedy will not oppose 
ilia — for a very good reason. He is fully araro that an incumbent 
President cuinot be denied renoainat ion if ha’s bent on it. President 
Tru.-an decisively demonstrated that In 1948, when he swept the Philadelphl 
convention despite loud and vehement Democratic opposition. 

Kernody will simply pull in his horns, fade into the background 
and start planning and maneuvering for 1972. 

;..uch as the president mic^t disapprove of his younger end 
a .b ic ioroly aspiring rival, Kennedy is convinced there is 11 ttlo he can.

This explains why the power-minded New York Senator has let It be

:\lroady, his ever-busy publicity minions have leaked word that he 
will advocate halting the bombing of Korth Vietnam and criticize other

Tills is '-ihy it is an abr;o2 utoly safe bet Kennedy will say nothing

At 9:30 p.m. , Sunday, May 7, 1967, Senator Edward V. 

Long (D. - Missouri), Chairman of the Adininistratiye Practices and 
Procedures Subcommittee of the Seriate Judiciary Committee, appeared 
on the television program "Cpinion--Washingtcn." I-Ie was interviev/ed 
by tlie host, Mark Evans, and Dan 21acld>urn of station XI>iBC, Kansas 
City, Missouri. 

* 

Long spoke in general concerning eavesdropping and the 
efforts of his Committee to protect tlie rights of individuals.. He com- 
mented concerning legislation which he has mtroduced, and, although 
the legislation is not exactly what he would like to see, he indicated 
tiiat it does go a long v/ay toward insuring the right to privacy. 

'.Senator Long criticized the Internal Revenue Service, indicating that 
ithoy were v'ory evasive and failed to cooperate with his Committee. He 
'expressed tlie opinion tliat Ii'.ternal Revenue Service Commissioner Sheldon 
Cohen was a dedicated employee but did net luiov what was going on in his 
j Agency. He spoke very highly of the F5I and said that the Eureau was 
very cooperative and that any time his Committee made inquiry of the 
EZI, Mr. v-Icover ’’had men there right away, explaining what the FBI 
does and v.'hat it has been doing over tlie years.” He indicated tltat his 
Corninittcu is fully a'vure of the FBI's activities and in view of the Bureau's 
' responsibilities in national security matters, he does not plan to hold any 
1 hearings m connection with the FBI's operations at this time. 


ig as to whctliar 


was a great 


Host Mark Evans inquired of. Senator Long 
ho believed former Attorney General Robert Men:;edy was 
' advocate of v/Betapping, Senator Long indicated tiiat he was r.ot prepared 
‘ to comment concerning Mr. Kennedy and that he has no plmis to call either 
'Mr. • Zoovor or Mr. Kennedy before his CornmiLtce. Ee indicated chat

Attached is an article from "The Washington Post 
and Times-Herald" of August 7, 1967, concerning Senator Robert F. 
Kennedy's appearance on the "Meet the Press" television program 
yesterday afternoon. As noted in the attached article, the questions 
asked Kennedy dealt primarily with Vietnam and the war on proverty — 
and Kennedy expressed his view that additional funds are needed to 
fight proverty in this country, as well as that the South Vietnamese 
troops should be doing more of the fighting in that country. 


In addition, Kennedy answered a question concerning 
his possible candidacy for President in 1968 by stating that he has asked 
the people who are promoting him for President and Senator J. W. 
Fulbright for Vice President to desist in their efforts. Futhermore, a 
number of questions were asked him in such a manner as to invite him 
to criticize President Johnson, and he carefully evaded such criticism. 


With respect to a question concerning Stokeiy Carmichael 
and H. Rap Brown, he said that if either Carmichael or Brown has 
violated the law--State or Federal— he should be prosecuted.

Turning to President John- 
' ion*s proposed 10 per cent sur- 
charge on Income taxes, 
Kennedy expressed three "re« 
sen-ations." 

First, he said, the tax In- 
crease ^ould impose a '‘partic- 
ularly heavy burden’* on lower 
income wage earners. It also 
i \Mou1d increase unemployment 
among Negroes, Puerto Ricans 
and Mexlcan-Americans, all of 
whom are ‘ now In difficult 
straits, ^ » 

Third, Kennedy would rid 
the tax structure of •’gim- 
micks" that enable those who 
earn more than $500,000 per 
year to pay an average of only 
27 per cent in Federal taxes. 
"I think these taxes should he'

come and the middle income

j As he defined U» his Mar-

depreciation allowances to in- 
duce industry to invest in

: construction of businesses. It 
would require scrapping past 
programs that proved unsuc- 
cessful. U would allow local 
communities to draft their 
own plans, which, when ap>- 
proved in Wasington, would 
jthen be funded by the Federal 
t Government. It would involve

TECHNICAL L MICROPHONE SURVEILLANCES

In the attached copy of a nevspaper article which 
appeared in the Washington Evening Star of 10/25/67^ it is 
reported that former Attorney General Robert F* Kennedy, in 
testifying during the con flict of interest trial ox former 
Representative Thomas .^E'r^O'Cnson of Maryland, stated that he 
had never authorized the use of wiretapping in the Johnson case 
and a lso had not authorized the use of wiretapping in the Hof fa 
case. 


V.\ 


This, of course,- is the same line which Kennedy has 
adopted previously whenever the question of his authorization 
of the use of electronic surveillances in criminal matters haa^, 

I arisen. Without specifically saying so, Kennedy appears to be 
distinguishing between the use of wiretaps and the use of 
microphone surveillances, and thereby skirting the truth. While .> 
we have no knowledge that Kennedy authorized the use of wire- 

in the Hof fa investigation, we do know thax he had requested> «

^ Captioned bill, 'which has been reported by the Sena^ Subcom- ^ 

^ mittee on Criminal Xiaws and Procedures, is scheduled to be taken up by the ^ 

..full Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, 11-29-67. Enclosed is a ^ 
confidential Subcommittee print of the report on this bill. This contains j 

information concerning the provision of the bill ($ection 604, Part F of Title 1) 
concerning the FBI's responsibilities in handling law enforcement training. 
Section 720 contains the provision for the $5, 111, 000 i^rc^riations for the 
FBI to implement Secticm 604. This inform^ion is contained on pages 5, 6 
and 8 of the report. Other information explainii^ axid supporting these pro* 
'Visions of the bill is found on pages 18 and 19, 21, 28, 58 and 60. These . 

. pages are marked to toe enclosed report. 

' Our sources on the Hill have advised that Senator McClellan, 

'With the apparent concurrence and assistance of the White House, is pushing 
this bill for possible final action this year. Senator McClellan has talked 
personally to the President about this bill, and his top staff assistant, James 
Calloway, who has been coordinating staff activities on the bill, has talked 
with Joseph A. Califano, Jr. , fecial Assistant to the President. Callo'way 
t has indicated the Department of Justice is not completely in tune with the 
J White House concerning this bill, a statement interpreted by some staff 
personnel as' indicating the White House may have agreed to accept Senator * 
McClellan's ’amendment which will authorize court-controlled wiretapping 
and eavesdropping, possibly in exchange for knocking out other provisions 
of the bill such as Senator McClellan's confession amendment and for Senator

T. E. Bishop to DeLoach Memo 

RE: S. 917 . ; . ‘ 

- it- "1% ' ' ■ ‘ ‘ — ■ “ . - 

I Senators comprise the so-called liberal members of fbe Committee. 

Indications are Senator Kennedy will offer a substitute bill when the full ^ . 
Committee meets next we^ This bill reportedly is now being prepared * \ , 
and allegedly will contain provisions closely similar to the adminlrtration^s ' 
original proposals with the addition of Senator Kennedy's amendment es~ ’ 

I tablishing a National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice 

I to direct law enforcement education, training, research and demonstration ' 

I I projects. The Kennedy-Department substitute bill z^portedly will contain 
II no reference to the FBI and will eliminate the provisions for our 

||law enforcement training activities. 


James Flug, Legislative Assistant to Senator Kenned^ whose 
janimosity toward the FBI is well known, has been the prime liaison repre* 
jsentative between the Senators and the Department of Justice. James Wood, 
|Associate Counsel on the Criminal Laws and Procedures Subcommittee, this 
1 jmoming (11-22-67) advised he had talked with Terry Seigal, Legislative Aid ’ 
1 }to Senator Hart, and Seigal commented that Flug apparently has no real hope 
ilof ekninating the FBI provision from the bill. Seigal commented that FBI 
representatives who have talked with various members of the Committee 
j I have convinced enough of them of the logic of FBI directicm of training so 
I that any effort to kill this portion of the bill is doomed to ^Lilure; hence, be 
I feels no real attempt will be made to knock out the FBI provision. This, of 
I course, may be true, but we know Department of Justice o^icials are exposed 
I to our having control of the training procedures, and Flug can be expected to 
iiuse eveiy possible trick to eliminate the FBI provision from the bilL 


Wood stated copies of the Eennedy-Department substitute bill 
are expected, to be circulated prior to the Committee meeting next week, and 

every effort will be made to obtain a copy of this bill as soon 'as one is available 

ii 


We Messrs. DeLoach, Bishop and Bowers) have talked to all 
members of the Committee or their Leg^lative Assistants earlier this month 
e^Ialning our interests in the training provision contained in captioned bill 
except Senator Kennedy and Senator Tydings. Recontacts are being made 
with our friends before the Committee meeting to insure they still are aware 
II of our Interests. This is essential since Flug reportedly has told some . 
I ipeople that the FBI does not oppose Senator Kennedy's proposed National 
ilbistitute. . .. . . • . • , . .

T. E. BishoDtoDeLoacliMenio 
HE: 8. 

In thiB regard, when Senator Kennedy initially offered the 
amendment eoneeming the National Instttiite in the Sibcommlttee, he 
indicated It was acceptable to him to have the FBI reaponaible for training;' 
Thi8,in effect, would create two National bstitutea and, because of this, 

I the &nnedy amendment was rejected in the last meeting of the Subcommittee. 
Plug obviousty is attempting to cloud the issue and imply that the FBI Is. 
[willing to carry out its training ftmctions under the dire^ion of a Nation^ 


irry g - _ _ , 

lel>ai^ m tne bepartmei^ oi Justice. We will make sure thin er* 
impre^s^on is ellminateci before the Committee meeting* 

Republican meml^s of the Comm^ee, according to Pete 
Velde, Ifinority Associate Coun^ on the Subcommittee, are unanimous 
in favor of block grants*>grants of money directly to the states for dis- 
tribution to state and local agencies at the direction of the Governor for 
jthe improvement of law enforcement rather than placing the control of 
such grants in the hands of the Attorney General* The Department is 
strongly opposed to this issue. This issue was not considered in Sub- 
committee due to its hi^Uy controversial nature. The vote on this issue 
will be very close* 

Velde stated he feels certain Senators Diiksen, Hruska, and 
Thurmond will s\:qpport the FBrs training provision in the bill. He is im- 
certain of what action Senator Fong will take in this regard. Senator Scott 
is out of the country and will not be present for the meeting.. Senator Dodd_ 


lrone( 


also is e?(pected to be absent due to his illness. These are the only absentees 
anticipated 

We are continuing to follow very closely developments con- 
cerning this legislation and are staying in close contact with our friends 
on the Committee in an effort to prevent the Department and Senator Kennedy 
from sabotaging the provisions of the bill placing law enforcement training 
responsibilities under the direction of the FBL

of New York City or fact

what they thou^t about^

applause came 
when a boy asked Kennedy 
If he planned to run for the 
presidency in 1972. Ken-

was a along way off. 

Immediately after a ques-

Kennedy was asked what 
plans he had for Suffolk

Suffolk with my family and 
increase the populatioa” 
That was met with another 
cheer.

In about a month, tlie anit» the Council on

mcndatioiis for judicul ami lair enfomnint reform. 
Most of tlie pm;w»aU under study wcic bidit^ in

by the county. Tliat is lltc proposed selection of trial 
and mnd juries by random lot The jury sdoction , 
plan IS the o:ily proposal before tbe counol that has 
the stisn; b.vw.'r.g of County Esccutnx Nickerson. 

Tlsc coi;ncii*s icconuncndatioos will hinge on a 
3t-pa>c report released last week by NickciMa. lie

pointment of district attomia and tlicii assistants; 
the creation of a local rehabiliutioa center for

many luspccti ^without bail as possible following 
OEamination; anc rnnsion of tbe S}-stcm where the 
district attomc}*s office and defense lawyca barnin 
oa guilty pleas before or during Iriab to reduce 
court congestiofu. 

Prevention 1$ Concern 

A sun^ of the attitudes of Looney and the 
council members sliowxd that the group was pri- 

I ourify ooncemed w-itfa prtiTntion ol crime^ espe-* 
caHy hj youths^ and tlie protection of defendants* 
Irights. *lMncy said the council mould produce 
jwrntten studies on Hie problems it deals with. He 
paid he cspcctcd the CDimcil to conduct a semirur on 
the report s rccomniaidations in about two months. 

I Tu council has no Icgisbtno powers, but its 
Iproposals are expected to carrr more weight tlian 
those of tndh idr^ab, Looney said the coun» would 
ihold public hearings pcriodtcally and issue ao annual 
jreport. A Kic&crson spoVesmaa said it was set up in 
{part to guarantee that Nassau would receive funds 
I under tl;e proposed Safe Streets and Crime Control 
{ Act now' before Congress and a ycctc d lo be passed 
jaoon. ‘‘We couldn’t get funds without the crime 
coimcil in existence,” said tlic ^okesman. *^Wic 
trying to jump the gun so that wlicn (tbe act) is 
passed we will already be enuipped.” He added that 
the courxH hire a fuiUune director and part- 
time hc*p i: wcdcxal or prhote foundatioQ funds 
became ai-aSabifc-^'^ , 

The report pomts out Hut Hie gmd srstcin 




laws are said lo ghc loo much po w er lo fuif 
ecMiitnnsioncrs and dhcrittiinalc a^hut low-incniite 
.and mtnority^roup metnben. Niclrenon, a spokes- 
man said, favored selection hi* lot ”as a innic detuo- 
ciatic process,” an argiiincnl made in the rcpocL 
Grand |urois arc now ctllKrr tuHniuatcd by pulgei or 
dHfscn faom lelqdionc booLs and tax mils. I’wo 
mcmlicrs of flic council who arc defense bvyrts 
bosLxl in Mtneob. David II. Peirce and Too F. 
McCinity, hacked the proposal ycsicrdar. MeChiitf 
urged that a different DncmnicnUl body rich as 
Htc state attorney geiicraT’i office^ liaiidlc ooniplaiiilt 
before a ^nd piry so tlul a district attorney, who 
miist eimbully try a ease, could not influence a 
* grand jury in Hre pretrial imrsligation. ‘ 

The idea of a coun^ iclubilitation center for 
youthful dclitiqitcnis ana first offenders drew sup- 
port from leicral council member^ indudine 
County Human Rdalions Cominissioticr FancU 
foncs. Jones said a uujor prolilcan has been the 
‘ detention of ^tmngslcrs in prisons where they are 
thrown in with lurdaicd criminals. ”Vou’re just 
funnit^ a school for emne,” he said. 

Program^ Not Trials Urged 

Petre^ a dctirate to Hie presiJent’s crime crui*y 
ferenoe m Nfaren, suggested tliat }tiungstcrs wito 
wTre hot considered lurdened criminals not be fried * 
if other remedies were a%'atlablc. ”Onec you take a ^

gested that young offenden be required to report to 
a probation officer and participate in a program^ 
similar to that required of persons actiinlH' on proba-*

The ^Leunan said Nickerson wxMild also like 
the council to explore a proposal to appoint distiict 
attorney's. A mcnc to dunce lltc office from ckcth-c 
to appointhx failed in the recent State Constilw-
